First of all, you guys need to start using the ALT+TAB feature. Just be sure to have another window open with (if at work) some random word document and (if at home) a half-written e-mail to your Mom or misc. friend and/or work associate (this of course, will always be half-written since it's only a decoy). An ALT+TAB jumps you immediately to the next window open. Reduce the bottom tool bar all the way to the bottom to take it out of view just in case inquiring eyes are savvy enough to see that tell-tale box at the bottom which spells out 'AudiogoN...' That aside, I've gotta fess up to a bit of an Audiogon fixation. I don't think it is possible, barring extreme discipline and mental effort, for me to check my e-mail without consummating the on-line ritual of following up with an Audiogon scan. Probably doesn't take up TOO much of my time, but 3 or 4 visits in a day certainly isn't out of the ordinary.
Audiogoners Anonymous?
The first step is knowing that you have a problem.
And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.
Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?
I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?
Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
